The following patch implements `org-html-root', which allows to export
file links as root-relative URL. I'm not sure the docstring is clear
enough, tho.

Also, HTML publishing process always bind the above to publishing
directory, without user intervention.

So, basically, upon exporting the following document to HTML:

  #+html_link_root: /tmp/
  [[/tmp/unicorn.jpg]]

the link becomes

  <img src="/unicorn.jpg" alt="unicorn.jpg" />


WDYT?
